Shipping technology firm Shipster is advancing its growth strategy with the launch of a new integration with Shopify, the leading eCommerce platform.
This new integration enables UK and European Shopify stores to connect seamlessly to over 100 leading couriers via Shipster’s custom shipping platform. It simplifies and streamlines shipping logistics by automating the order to dispatch process, including the creation of shipments and courier bookings, as well as generating tracking information and all necessary shipping and customs documentation.
Shopify merchants will now have access to a new pick-and-pack function provided by Shipster’s platform, which replicates the basic functionality of a warehouse management system (WMS) to facilitate scan-to-dispatch operations. This solution aims to assist growing companies in enhancing operational efficiency, reducing shipping errors, and delivering an improved customer experience.
Tony Cheetham, CEO and founder of Shipster, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, stating, “We’re thrilled to launch the Shipster Shopify integration and bring a new level of shipping efficiency to Shopify’s 4.5 million brands and retailers. Retailers need a solution that is efficient, cost-effective and gets products from their stockroom or warehouse to customers seamlessly. By leveraging the solution, Shopify stores, with or without a WMS or larger eCommerce tech stack, can now benefit from our affordable, customisable and flexible platform.”
Since its establishment in 2015, Shipster has been disrupting the shipping software market, with a growing number of online retailers, ecommerce warehouses, and distributors adopting its services. Its flexible licensing model allows businesses to add or remove licenses or couriers during busier or quieter periods. Another notable feature is Shipster’s custom shipping rules capability, which enables retailers to tailor their processes based on criteria such as weight, destination, and parcel type, offering an unmatched level of customisation.
Damian Donnelly, COO of Shipster, highlighted, “Our Shopify integration is another example of Shipster’s commitment to provide highly customisable and flexible software at an accessible price, and exceptional customer service. We have built an intuitive and incredibly powerful tool that simplifies the shipping process for businesses. From custom shipping rules to automatic document generation, this integration allows Shopify stores to manage their fulfilment with greater precision and less effort. It’s about giving businesses the necessary control while taking away the complexity.”
The collaboration between Shipster and Shopify is set to revolutionise the logistics landscape for eCommerce businesses, providing a seamless, efficient, and highly customisable shipping solution that caters to the dynamic needs of modern retailers.
